I just heard of the sad passing of Trade Unionist Rodney Bickerstaffe. I had the pleasure of meeting him and recording this video on behalf of my former employer, London Metropolitan University. It is easy to see how he was so highly regarding by his peers and colleagues with his warm message of support to new graduates entering the workplace.
